Post ID, I. 2. A, held an adjourned meet
ing at the Marshall House last night, and in
the absence of President Newman, Vice
President J. Belsinger presided. The object
Of the meeting was to hear reports of com
mittees aud continue the work of perfect
ing the organization. There was an attend
ance of about twenty-five members, which
showed plainly the great interest the drum
mers take in the association The commit
tees were not ready to make full reports
or to say more than that they were pro-
crossing with their work The Post IS
young still, and though it has gone far in
the direction of organizing, the committees
are not thoroughly informed as to the exact
characters of their duties. Upon that sub
lect they desire further instruction, and the
Post thereupon instructed the Secretary to
correspond with the secretaries Of the other
Posts OF the State to learn just what work
their committees are doing.
The Finance Committee reported that it
had obtained $40 since the last meeting,
which makes a total of about $3.50 that has
been subscribed by the wholesale merchants
10 defray the expenses of the Post The
other committees may not understand their
duties exactly, but it is evident that the
Finance Committee knows what it has TO do
and how to do 1t. The Committee on By
Laws was not ready to report, because most
of the directors who, with Mr.. II. &. Appel,
constituted the committee, have been alb
sent from the city. Mr.. Sid A. Pughsley
and Mr.. Appel We're present last night, how
ever, and they stated that they would go
TO work tomorrow morning and have their
report ready for the next meeting. The
Railroad Committee is most anxious of all
about its duties This is about the most i'm
pOrtant committee of the Post, and its
affairs have to he handled with great deli
cacy. 1t has been waiting for some
advice from State President ISaacs,
but in the meantime it is preparing itself
for active work. 1t reported progress, and
will meet again tomorrow.
The question of visiting Macon on Drum
mers Day of the State Fair was brought up
for consideration, and it was at first pro-
posed to attend in body and as Post, but
in view of the fact that the Post is yet in
its infancy it was deemed advisable not to
do so. The hotel committee, however, was
instructed to make arrangements at some
Macon hotel for the members of the Post
who will be present. Post ID was careful,
however, to provide for the maintaining of
its good reputation. The proprietor of the
hotel where the members will stay will be
furnished with list of the members of
the Post and should any one else at
tempt to palm himself off as a mem
her of that body he will be marked.
A motion to compensate the secretary and
treasurer for his services was introduced.
There is no small amount of work to be
done by Mr.. Boley, who occupies those posi-
tions. and as his other duties are heavy it is
necessary for him to employ assistance.
The Post desired to relieve him of that
expense, and while the amount of compen-
sation was referred to the the committee ON
bylaws it was resolved that he should be
4 ,%tn e hot
committee should report. The Post then
adoptedla'resolution declaring the MORN
ING NEWS the official organ of that body,
after which it adjourned.
